Actually, I believe you'll find it's Paul VI's crucifix, retained so far by his successors.

Really? I've never seen a picture of it with Paul VI, but what you said jogs something in my memory so you are probably correct... thanks!

Why is Cardinal Zen being carried? If he gets carried the Pope should be carried. End of story.

Cardinal Dery's getting carried because he can't walk (or walk well) and the Maintenance Department hasn't gotten around to putting in ramps yet.

You think they would have, given how many years the late Pope could have really used them!
